No, lets have her weigh KotOR against The Old Republic. And see what problems in the former that she fears will reemerge in the latter. I'm sure that's keeping it "on-topic."
How can I weigh anything against a game that's not yet out?
Not to mention that they're going to be completely different games.
Besides, this being an MMO, I'm not going to bother with it by default.
Mediocre plot, half-assed alignment system, and zero consequences for evil actions, for starters.
If I play an evil character, I want there to be shades of evil. And not just the straight "kill everyone" type of evil, as well. And people shouldn't be acting like you're just completely normal. Normal people running from you, bounty hunters being on your tail...THAT sort of thing.
I don't expect a video game to ever get anything remotely resembling a decent alignment system - it's just really difficult to do - but at least try a little harder. I'm so sick of games that say your actions have an effect on something when they actually don't.

Did you play 2?

And Kreia taunted me the entire game by being exactly the kind of evil I wanted to be, but the game wouldn't allow. That was just cruel.
I might be interested by TOR, if they allow that sort of quiet, manipulative Dark Sidedness.

Anyway...you didn't find 'two's' choices to have more, how did you put it, "consequences."
Yeah, spamming, nice.
And no, not really. You could train people. Big deal.

Nah, he's completely right. And you can't even judge anyway, as you don't play the games and thus don't have a clue about them.
Fact is, KOTOR's plot was about as generic as it gets and anyone who didn't see that twist coming a mile away...well.
And really, this is incredibly off-topic now. No more.
